The Enterprise is on a mission to warn the human colony on Moab IV about a massive stellar fragment that's approaching them. The Moab's are a secret society that don't care much for interaction with outside worlds... yet they only have six days before seismic activity caused by the stellar fragment, will make their world uninhabitable. The clock is ticking. It's a no brainer.
Both Troi and La Forge have made new friends, but I cannot help thinking of Alan Partridge whenever Aaron Conor is on the screen.
Hannah: "It was the wish of our founders that no one would have to suffer a life of disabilities." Geordi: "Who gave them the right to decide whether I should be here? Whether or not I might have something to contribute?"
It's a contest between a world created by and for genetically engineered human beings who think they're smarter than the rest of us. Much as I appreciate that the episode is trying to deal with the moral question relating to genetically engineered beings, the indifferent attitude of the Moab's to their impending annihilation doesn't seem very smart.
Indeed, Aaron and Deanna seem to have found time to get it on...
Again, this is an episode that relies more on dialog that it does on action, so it is a bit slow and pedantic. I get the feeling that the writers didn't really know what they wanted to do with the story. The Moab's seem more than friendly for a world where each person has a specific role in the structure of their society.
Sadly, the story is too boring. As such a race as the Moab's has never really existed, it is hard to imagine how such a people would really behave. I am guessing that this fact also plagued the writers of this one.
